For those of you running larger boats with two or three separate AC systems, how is your condenser water supply system designed?
Specifically, does each AC system run a separate water pump/strainer? Do multiple pumps run off one strainer? Does the boat have one water pump/strainer with a proportioning valve to balance the flow due to differences in distance and elevation of each system? Are differing water pipe sizes used to balance per some formula?
Thank you for your responses.
